Delivering Brexit: Analysing the Risks and the Opportunities

This paper published with the Institute for Statecraft examines the options for the UK post the 23rd June 2016 Referendum vote. It looks at the risks and opportunities in respect of hard Brexit, and the alternative forms of Soft Brexit. Fundamentally, it argues that if the UK chooses hard Brexit it will require an immense national effort to be successful, and if the UK sees soft Brexit, the best approach would be to seek such a solution as part of a broader European settlement to reform the EU.
